Jake knows his poo poo when it comes to the boat, there's a reason that Wild Bill made Zach the engineer that if Zach ever wants to be a Captain he must know how fix poo poo. Pretty much every Captain have a pretty drat good mechanical knowledge, except for Josh who don't even want to learn how the boat functions. I also somehow doubt that Josh fishes while the cameras are off, something which most of the other guys do.

Jake has been busting his rear end raw to earn a captainship, and learning the ropes on what seems to be one of the more disciplined boats in the fleet. Josh was mostly just buying flatscreen tvs with his dad's credit card prior to his untimely death. It would have made a nice story to have him bring the Cornelia Marie back, but here we are.

I'm pretty sure it was Jake Harris, not Josh, who tried to bring the flat screen onto the boat. Up to now Josh had been working pretty hard to take over the CM, putting in all that time working on the Time Bandit and such. That being said it was shocking how indifferent the editing made Josh look while Casey was trying to repair the rudder,

This reinvented Mythbusters seems to have pretty much settled down to be the same as the old one, minus the build team. They are still pretty much out of myths.

Cutting down on the number of myths per episode is about the only thing they could have done. I liked the build team but seeing more in-depth material and the iterations and prep work is a shot in the arm for the show.

Would make sense.

BB had a tendency to MacGyver up abuses of science and engineering and then pretend to explain them with real principles and fact-checking that sort of thing is exactly Mythbuster's raison d'etre now.

I got a question. Since there is a discovery channel chase boat following all these boats why do they talk like they are in trouble if the boat should sink? Like Jake this episode said "If this tank fills up with water we are getting in a raft". But they aren't because theres a boat following you filming you. Also when Keith went near the russian border. You were not there alone, there was chase boat filming you. I assume they just act like there isn't a boat filming them to not ruin the immersion?

I don't think the chase boat is there 24/7, in previous seasons they only had one boat acting as a camera ship for the entire fleet. Also in the first instance even if the chase boat was there they would still have to board a life raft to get over to it, so what Jake said isn't inaccurate.

There isn't a chase boat for every boat on the show. There's 1 or 2 at most for the entire fleet, and just because there's a boat nearby doesn't guarantee you won't die in a horrifically dangerous catastrophic situation, such as business as usual on The Wizard. A bum part the other boat could help you with, sure, but capsizing or bursting into flame or being captained by Keith are disasters that no chase boat could help you survive.

Someday he'll find a greenhorn that isn't a drug addict, has two knees, doesn't go into dehydration from seasickness... gently caress, even Captain Rex Ryan over there had a functioning crew this time around.

I wonder if bill picks up these terrible greenhorns just to stay on the show. I mean besides seeing how bad is his greenhorn going to gently caress up what else does he have going to be on the show? His deckhands are boring and hes just an angry old man most of the time. And hes near the bottom of the pack in amount of crab gathered. It's always north western, time bandit, and the wizard at the top.

Pretty sure Bill is one of the most respected in the fleet, I know there was an episode where Jon and Andy said Bill has fished almost every fishery on the planet.

Clearly changing from the death race it used to be that made it the deadliest job in the world has made all new green horns soft.

Was I the only one who thought Sig was being an enormous hypocrite when he was talking about Jake Anderson, and how new captains have to rise through the ranks (work on deck, captain for salmon tendering, and then maybe you can run the boat for cab)? I mean, my recollection is Sig took over the Northwestern when he was in his early twenties. It really sounded to me like he was pissed that Jake was advancing his career outside of the way Sig was drawing it up and he no longer had that lever of control over the guy.

It's interesting the disparity between the seemingly well-oiled machines that are the Northwestern and Time Bandit and the disorganized messes like Every Other Boat. I'd like to know how if Discovery has any influence on the hiring/"casting" of some of the lame-assed greenhorns the Wizard, Cape Caution, Saga, etc. get. Wild Bill's son going from John's cheerleader to worst enemy was interesting. ToastyPotato posted:I have never seen a behind the scenes explanation for how the captains can hear everything being said on deck. They make it seem like it is coming over an intercom, and I know that most of, if not all of the decks, do have one, but that is usually in one spot on the deck, and the person has to stand near it to use it. Not sure how people talking poo poo by the launcher are being heard over it. The microphone would have to be permanently transmitting, and also sensitive as hell, and I feel like they would mostly only be hearing wind, water, and mechanical noises at that point, based on my own experiences with various mics and recording in various conditions. Maybe I'm cynical, but in the world of "reality" shows, it doesn't make it feel very real if they admit on Behind The Catch that "we rig mics on deck and put a receiver in the wheelhouse so the captain has a reason to get visibly pissed". I still think this is the most real docureality show there is today, but it's clear they're trying to shoehorn garbage in where they can.

I think we also have to remember they shoot a poo poo load of hours of footage. I'm sure it's not super hard to find something they can edit to be interesting. I think time bandit and northwestern do so well because they don't get greenhorns as often lately and the ones they got were pretty good and/or family. Not some random person. spanky69 posted:Well when everybody else was finished wasn't Bill headed back out to catch bairdi? Ya half way through the season he got told his quota was wrong and because of a typo he had less quota.

RE: Chase Boats There are only a couple, and most of those external boat shots you see every episode are gathered within a short period of time. It's B-roll, and just shots that they can use as filler and to establish scenes and stuff. They probably have instructions to get B-roll of most of the boats for day time, night time (with rough see variants when possible) and both with ice variants. If they know something interesting maybe happening on a boat, they will send a chase boat their to grab it if possible. I wonder how much longer Sig's crew is going to keep going. But when you make 112K during one Opie season, that is probably a good enough reason to stay. Also, I am guessing they don't film/show most of the season? Or did NW crew really make over $100k in 2-3 weeks?

And I guess the chase boat thing just confused me because they seem to match it up really well and make it look like the chase boat is there next to them when the scene is going on. Like when they were fixing the crane on the northwestern (i think) I am pretty sure the chase boat was there as they were doing it.

I have enjoyed this company of mythbusters but man o hman i hate shark week and the mythbusters episode from last night just made me realize that. It is the first episode ifve skippedi n like 10 years. I Just hate shark week. It doesnt seem anyone talks about naked and fraid XL? That has been one of the best television shows I've ever seen. It seems that discovery gets all the good shows that a lot of people miss. I loved bamazon and all those other crazy gold in the jungle shows. I hope there is more naked and afraid XL. 40 days naked in the wildnernesas ... how the hell is that even possible
